28. Remove the connecting rod bearing cap.
29. Install the piston.
30. Rotate the crankshaft by hand and check whether it rotatessmoothly.
31. If the bearings are damaged,
- replace the oil presser relief valve. - clean the oil pump and oil filter housing carefully and
replace the hose if necessary. Notice After assembling the engine, check the camshaft timing, adjust the start of fuel injection and check the TDC sensorbracket setting.
32. Fill oil and run the engine and then check the oil pressure and oil level. Notice Install the original oil filter element and then change the engine oil and oil filter element after 1,000 - 1,500km.
27. Measure the radial clearance (L) of the connecting rod
bearing. Example) Measured value ‘J’ = 47.700mm
Measured value ‘K’ = 47.653mm
Clearance ‘L’ = 0.047mm
Radial Clearance ‘L’0.026 - 0.068mm
Notice If the clearance is out of standard, adjust the radial clearance of connecting rod bearing by replacing theconnecting rod bearing shells.
26. Measure connecting rod bearing journal diameter (K).
Notice Refer to measurement of the crankshaft bearing journal
diameter.
24. Insert the new connecting rod bearing shells into theconnecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap and tighten
the 12-sided stretch bolts (11).
25. Measure inner diameter of connecting rod bearing.

CheckingNotice The noise which continues short time during short travel (frequent starting of the engine) or engine starting after a long time storage is normal operating conditions. So, it doesnot need to be repaired. Determine the malfunctions in valveclearance compensation device with noise through following
tests. If defective, replace as respectively.
1. Run the engine at more than 3000rpm for approx. 4 minutes.
2. Stop the engine. After 5minutes, check the engine oil level and adjust if necessary.
3. Remove the cylinder head cover.
4. Check the valve tappets at TDC position of each cylinders.
5. Using a drift, lightly press the valve tappet and measure clearance between the cam and valve tappet. Notice If the clearance exceeds 0.4mm, replace the valve tappet.
6. If a valve tappet moves down too far in comparison to the others, replace the valve tappet.
7. Rotate the engine and check the remaining valve tappets.
Notice
Unnecessary rotation of the engine will damage the valve tappets.
Do not rotate the engine by using the camshaft sprocket bolt or to the opposite direction of the engine rotation.

10. Measure distance ‘z’ (cylinder head cover parting surface
- valve stem).
5. Clean the vales, valve seats and valve guides.
6. Coat the valve stem with oil and insert it into valve guide.
7. Insert the valves (1) into the valve guides according to
marking.
8. Measure amount by which the valve arrears ‘a’.
Arrears ‘a’ 0.1 - 0.7 mm
Notice If out of standard, replace the valve seat ring.
9. Measure camshaft cam basic diameter (w).
Diameter ‘w’ 38 ± 0.2 mm
or 37.6 ± 0.2 mm
